Stay true to you

On Sunday, we will be watching the graduating class of 2019 cross the boards into their new lives as high school graduates.

These days we hear a lot of disparaging news about teens in our country – Tide pod eaters, drug users, drinkers, inexperienced theorists.

What we see, however, are young people who are genuinely concerned with political issues, the future of our planet and making things better.

The students we see wearing those caps and gowns are future doctors, scientists, educators and farmers, ranchers and veterinarians, mechanics and oil field workers.

Sure, they may not know right now, today, what they want to be when they “grow up”, but they are ready to face the world, knowing its up to them to make things happen.

They are smart and they are caring. They are full of energy and promise.

To the Class of 2019, our best wishes on your future endeavours. Stay strong. Be you.
